I dont think Windows 8 will do well on PC's but it sure will give iPad a run for its money iPad cant beat a full functioning OS in tablet form

I like the direction Microsoft is going with the UI just dont know why its sooooooooooo ugly Graphics are flat and colors reminiscent of XP

Not a good idea, it may cause problems (they have their reasons for blocking it from integration) KB2658165

If you can browse to the PC over your local network then you can shut it down remotely...try this: shutdown /m \\<name-of-pc> /s

You can also just use -a to add the driver to the driverstore when the printer is offline, then when you plug the printer in or turn it on the driver will install pnputil -a *.inf

Then all you need to use is dism (or a win7 integration tool) to integrate or you can use pnputil to install it post windows setup pnputil -i -a <inf_name>.inf BTW you may have a better chance finding a more up tp date driver on the update catalog, I was able to find v6.2.0.0 (link requires ie) http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=QL-550

What OS are you installing on?

I dont think (dont quote me on this) boot.wim passes the drivers to the main Windows install

You can simply use Wordpad (that comes with Windows) to format the text the way you want it, save the RTF then open it in notepad....now copy the code and paste it in your config.txt and voila

msc files are like xml files, try notepad

Reuploaded BTW this is the switch you use to go around setup.exe dependency (you dont have to edit the msi) ip.msi /qn DSKSHORTCUT=0 MM=?? INSTALLGUID={645B1545-B4AB-4148-9495-FDF07ED2E673} /norestart You can find your "Mouse Model" command line number or MM= in the help documentation of my silent switch builder

In case you delete them I want you to know you can uninstall the program if you still have the original msi installer, just right click it and choose uninstall

I integrate the CAB and dont have an issue...but I think thats because I use autounattend.xml to personalize my settings (turn off 1st run, blank home page, etc.)

Dont patch stuff, do it after

He has a older AIO VGC-LV190Y that does 1200 and even this is too little, essentially buying a new one would feel like downgrading

I am asking this question for a friend, what is the BEST! AIO PC out there? He was looking at the VAIO L series but the screen resolution is the ONLY problem, it can only do a max of 1920x1080 instead of his current VGC-LV190Y 1920x1200 So if anybody know of a AIO PC with 24-inch+ screen, with 1920x1200+ resolution and 2nd gen i5-i7 All suggestions are welcome

I think you have to be logged in so it wont work during svcpack, try with runonceex or wpi

Depends on the type of installer, if its a msi installer (like in the case of Win7codecs) you can easily edit it to stop them...inno is also easy to edit and some people use autoit

I have not used it before but I think this does what you want http://ninite.com/

I have a friend who got this recently

Do you also add the DestinationDirs for them? Post the entire inf file so we can see

Try (re)installing the latest Windows Update Agent, here is v7.4.7600.229 from KB982010 http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/1/4/a14ddc41-eb5b-4fd3-abc8-0f1aa29b509f/windowsupdateagent30.exe

Just want to point out you should only unhide components you want to remove, unhiding ALL might break add/remove windows features

I think files are left behind until you rebuild the wim imagex /compress maximum /export <path_to_folder>\install.wim * <new_existing_path>\install.wim /check
